Personally, I haven't stopped one bit. Yes, the price increases affect me. But I also have no other expensive hobbies, and the last new released games I bought were Space Marine (with a free copy of Darksiders) and Portal 2. Heck, I bought Minecraft back before it was fully released.

I buy DnD books, but they haven't released anything I'm interested in a while now, and I'm not interested in much else. I'm a GW fanboy, and can't help it. Also, I'm saving money wherever I can on principal. I live with family, and got through college for cheap. Plus, my FLGS has a Customer Loyalty program on all purchases, which gets me $5 back for every $100 I spend.

Nowadays, I don't buy near as much. Now I challenge myself to finish up the models I have, building and painting, before I buy any more. I'll convert the expensive pewter/Finecast models from plastic, and I'll loot at better point/dollar ratio in my buying plans. But then again, I noticed that I started doing that before the newest price increase.

Am I going to stop? No. Am I much more responsible in my purchases and smart in my model and paint choices? Yes.

Personally I've taken to running a lot more proxies when I can find a compatible or modable model. I still get GW stuff but I usually look at my options and decide if the model in question is really worth it or not. If it isn't worth the money asked, I'll try and find a proxie or just get an older version off E-bay.

Remember when stormravens and landraiders were $50 a pop? Now what are they, something like $80 and $60? Because, ya know, its totally cool to blatantly price gouge. The first razorback I got was $33. As of today, GW sells it for $41. I just cannot justify getting back into the game for the $550 it will cost to create a reasonable 1850 point army.

I will continue to play my wood elves however, but GW... You have lost my money to warmachine, where I can get twice the amount of stuff for half the cost. Heck, my HUGE warmachine army cost about $550. And that's enough to play an apocalypse-sized game for warmahordes.

No, GW doesnt understand the concept of reasonable prices.

eg. Khador Man-O-War Bombardiers set (£29.95) can be compared to Terminators (£28.00).

all you really need to play though is a 50 dollar battle group plus the rulebook and some templates and then you can slowly build up from there. when compared to warhammer, this is MUCH cheaper as a battleforce costs $150 and thats not even enough to play a regular sized game :/

but your just talking about the gaming aspect...the battleforce is expensive yes but it comes with a ton of models with excesive amounts of extra bits for modelling painting while the warmahordes boxes come with at most 5 models? and not really posable and a short paint time. so then this leads to making purchases sooner.... still GW prices arent great but
